Since wireless radio transmissions were first achieved in the 1880s, telecommunications have evolved to the point where instant global communication is a daily reality, currently contributing more ...

For beginners, diode types can sometimes be a bit of mental gymnastics. If all it does is act like a magic pixie check valve, why are there so many kinds? Schottky diodes are typically hard to ...

CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced the ...

(Nanowerk News) The Energy, Electron, Plasma and Plasmonic (EEPP) Group led by Prof. Ricky Ang at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) says that it has uncovered the underlying ...

Medium-voltage CoolGaN G5 transistors from Infineon include a built-in Schottky diode to minimize dead-time losses and enhance system efficiency. The integrated diode also streamlines power stage ...

USING TRENCHFET Gen III silicon, the Si4628DY SkyFET from Vishay Intertechnology offers a maximum RDS(ON) of 3 m at a 10-V gate drive and 3.8 m at 4.5 USING TRENCHFET® Gen III silicon, the Si4628DY ...

For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. “Due to the lack of body diode in hard-switching applications, GaN-based topologies ...

The study of Schottky barrier (SB) MOSFETs with metallic source and drain contacts is expanding as a result of recent developments in the semiconductor industry. Instead of the usual impurity-doped ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Power systems employ diodes to perform a variety of functions. For example, diodes can protect against damage due to power-source reverse-polarity ...
